Development and marketing is what we need.

Also, at times companies just don't have the knowledge or resources to take a company to it's potential alone. A smart business owner knows this and also sometimes competing companies join.

Also, we all know that steemit inc is cash poor and their constant sell pressure has hurt the price. I call that backs to the wall.
